cheesy puffs

Gougères are savory French cheese puffs made from pate a choux dough with Gruyere cheese. They are perfect bite-size appetizers!

Gougères Recipe

unsalted butter

milk

water

salt

black pepper

all-purpose flour

eggs (room temperature)

Gruyere cheese (grated)

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.

Place the butter, milk, water, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add all of the flour at once, reduce heat to medium-low and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and appears to dry out (a film or “crust” will develop on the sides and bottom of the pan), another 2 to 3 minutes.

Immediately place the dough into a mixing bowl and beat on low until it stops steaming and is just warm to the touch, approximately 1 minute.

Increase mixer speed to medium and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each until fully incorporated and scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the cheese and mix until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. The final dough will appear smooth, creamy, and shiny.

Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large round piping tip (I recommend Ateco #809), and pipe 1-2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets.&nbsp;Alternately, use a medium cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between them. You can wet your hands and gently smooth out the scoops, if you’d like.

Bake for 10 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F, and continue to bake until puffed and golden brown, an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature.

CHEESY MASHED POTATO PUFFS

salted butter

potato flakes

garlic powder

dry parsley

eggs

Colby Jack cheese

Prep: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Set aside.

Make potatoes: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the water and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is boiling.

Add the flour, potato flakes, garlic powder, dry parsley, and salt. Keep cooking on medium heat while constantly mixing until all ingredients are incorporated and it has formed a ball.

Remove pan from the heat. Be sure to let the potatoes cool for at least 10 minutes before mixing in the other ingredients. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well in between each.

Sprinkle the cheese and mix until the cheese is evenly incorporated into the potato mixture.

Bake: Using a medium 1.5 TBSP cookie scoop, scoop the mixture and place the balls on the prepared cookie sheet, keeping 1 ½ inches in between each. You should get about 20 puffs.

Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese puffs have a nice golden color.

Let the potato bites rest for 1 to 2 minutes on the pan. Serve and Enjoy!
